 Posted: Tue May 09, 2006 7:30 Post subject: [hack] Add flash to Posts, with Admin hack for easy entry |
 |
|
This is for version: 0.9.1 "Dawn" 2005-09-16
No idea if it works on other versions.
So i was looking for an easy way to add flash to my posts, as mine will be mainly a flash blog it was very important.
You need to update 2 files. I recommend making backups in case it doesn't work for you.
I am posting my files so if you have made any other modifications, you need to find the changes. If you need help, just ask
1. The html validation file (in conf/_formatting.php)
2. The php file that adds the buttons to write entry screen (plugins/toolbars/_quicktags.toolbar.php)
I haven't tested it extensively, but it works in internet explorer and firefox in windows.
the hotkey is alt-f to insert flash.

Thats mighty cool of you Ron -- not only have you provided something I am sure people will find most useful, but you've made me feel great about adding the ability to do attachments!!
Hats off!!

it makes sense for the attachmentrs, i was trying to post the code in either the code or php tags, but it converts the text "=>" that is in the formatting.php into an arrow.

yah, its best to disable smileys (its one of the options when you create a post) for any posts youre going to put code snippits in, that fixes it, just in case you decide to share something else

| Hey how do you get flash skins to work with this hack? like play/pause rewind feature if you use one of flash's default skins like ArticExternalAll.swf? |

Yep...works fine though I got a bit lost in the _formatting.php for a while.
The error your getting appears to be because you are using the previous _formatting.php.
You have to edit the latest.
I will post the files here as soon as possible
Working example is at
http://wow-factor.com/index.php/flash_plugin_test

Updated for B2 1.8 and works with 1.8.2
Please make sure you back up your files as the only science I used with this was "suck it and see" but it has survived B2 upgrades and still works
It is simply a transfer of the work by heppy
Working example: http://wow-factor.com/index.php/flash_plugin_test
Files edited:
conf/_formatting.php
and
plugins/_quicktags.plugin.php

Updated this hack for B2Evo 1.9.0 beta
NOTE: this is version specific so if you are not upgrading to 1.9 give it a miss.
Please back up your original files before doing anything.
